LINIMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 429,720, dated June 10,1890.

Application filed August 22, 1888. Serial No. 283,495. (No specimens.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J osn ESQUINALDO, a subject of the King of Spain,butresiding at Key \Vest, in the county of Monroe and State of Florida,have invented a new and useful Composition of Matter for MedicinalPurposes, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists in a medical compound formed or composed from thefollowing ingredients, combined in the following proportions: Olive-oil,two hundred and fifty grams; calomel, ten grams; lime-Water, one hundredgrams, and aguardiente, (Spanish rum,) one hundred and forty grams.These ingredients are to be thoroughly mingled by agitation.

The above-named compound is to be used as a local application in severecuts, contusions, burns, or amputations. It not only allays theinflammation, but will suppress suppuration. In cases of amputationespecially it tends to remove the danger of the inflammation whichusually attends such operations, and at the same time hastens theprocess of healing from the third day thereafter. In ordinary cuts it isusually only necessary to unite the edges of the wound and apply theremedy, and on'the third day it is perfectly healed. In cases of burns,scalds, bad ulcers, and even where gangrene has appeared, theapplication of the remedy will allay the pain, re move the gangrene,give a healthy color to the ulcer, and hasten its cure. In variolousaffections, notwithstanding the pustules may have appeared upon the faceof the patient, the application ofthis remedy will cause them todisappear in twenty-four hours without in any Way interfering with thenatural development of the eruption throughout the rest of the body.

What I claim is- The herein-described medical compound, consisting ofolive-oil, calomel, lime-water, and aguardiente, (or Spanish rum,)combined in the proportions substantially as described.
